13. CONCLUSION
If you believe your dog has contracted parvo, don't lose your calm and take him
to the vet.
Vet will do the ELISA test, which produces results in about 15 minutes.
The test is not 100% accurate so the vet may do some additional bloodwork.
Still, if you act on time, you will save your furry baby.
